Islo Times :While becoming a singer did your family supported you ?? 
Naseer :Not really until i started to get outcomes of what i do. Families want you to do things that are productive and i guess when my music got productive, they started to support me but that too partially. Though my brothers played a huge part in shaping up my musical direction by giving me quick, honest and critical analysis of my music.
Islo Times :What else do you do except singing?
Naseer :Except for music, i act as it gives me a chance to express myself in various situations. I love restoring classic vehicles. I love Dogs and I’ve kept quite a few. I love adventure and been roaming around Pakistan lately.
Islo times :Which one is your favourite movie ?
Naseer :The Bourne trilogy remains my favourite. It has a huge impact on how i see the world now lol. It even motivated me to act in the first place.
Islo Times : Your first song ?
Naseer :as far as my own goes, it was so horrible, i had to dump it. Rest, my first cover was LP’s in the end.
Islo TimesHow did you start singing ?What was your age when you started singing ?
Naseer : I always had something for tempo and rhythms. I remember I’d tap my feet and clap my hands to odd rhythms with ease and grabbing tempos was the easiest part for me since i was a kid. Then i heard LP in my 9th grade and i thought i could do that too. Started off as a Rapper since it requires precision timing and tempo but ended up as a vocalist and guitarist eventually. Started off a few bands and settled with Shahab qamar. Shahab and I met on facebook while we showed equal aptitude for music and how it is related to human beings in today’s world. I found him to be a honest, down to earth and a talented person and our musical journeys resembled each other and I am really proud to have such a talented man besides me, making NASEER & SHAHAB which remains my pride. Its been a journey full of values, learning, friendship and pride.

I am a shy person to be honest and i cannot risk any blunder like that.
